As part of its plan to invest nearly $1 billion for literacy programs over the next few years, Target is teaming up with The Ellen DeGeneres Show to award grants to help 50 K-12 schools improve reading achievement.

Viewers of the Ellen Show were asked to help identify schools with a significant need or compelling story that could best use the $100,000 grants to better serve their students and communities. Learn more about the grants and nominate a school here.

The Target announcement provides more details about the effort here.
